Implants

WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

A dental implant is a metal post that functions as a replacement tooth root. Once your dentist places the implant in the bone of the jaw, new bone forms around the implant to firmly hold it in place. Implants can also support dental restorations like crowns and bridges, just like regular teeth. They can even support full or partial dentures and give them more stability in the mouth.

WHEN SHOULD I CONSIDER A DENTAL IMPLANT?

Dentists place implants as anchors for artificial teeth. You would choose to have one placed if you had a tooth removed and wanted it replaced. When you want to have an artificial tooth replace a missing one, ask your dentist about dental implants. Gum disease, poor dental hygiene, and nicotine may affect your ability to be a candidate for dental implants.

HOW DO I AFFORD A DENTAL IMPLANT?

Talk to your Insurance Company about whether or not they cover the cost or portion of the cost of a dental implant. Consider the Smile Protection Plan through Great Expressions as another option for payment assistance. CareCredit* also offers financing options to fit within your monthly budget. We make it easy and convenient for you to afford the dental treatment you may need.

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

Once healing occurs, implants are fused to your bone, so they’re often more durable than other replacement options, including bridges.
Consider a dental implant if:

You want treatment that looks, feels and functions like natural teeth

You want to restore your smile

You want a permanent treatment option for a missing tooth

Request an appointment to speak with your dentist and they’ll help you decide the best treatment option for you.

Insider Tip: Dental implants have been by far the most successful restorations in dentistry. Studies have shown that 95% of all implants placed are still functioning ten years after placement.
